Number 2 was in 1970 for Earth Day, so that had to be the boomers protesting, right?

The oldest boomers would be 24, the youngest would be 6. So mostly silent and greatest gens probably.

And look, they fixed climate change!

No generation has fixed climate change. No one is making a dent because it isn't the people who are the biggest perpetrators, it's the corporations and billionaires.

Tbf climate change wasn’t really in the public consciousness at that point in time, it was just being discovered and then was hidden by oil companies for a few decades.
